I don't understand what you mean with "( _, §, £, ...)", but:

> the 'attName[iAtt].an_name.bv_val' gives "1.1" instead of "_*attributename*"

Are you sure there is a problem?  It's standard for clients to ask for
attribute "1.1" when they want no attributes returned:  Asking for any
attribute suppresses the default behavior of returning all user attrs.
And there should be no attribute with OID "1.1".  So when slapd looks
it up, that'll fail and be treated as any other unrecognized attribute.
